Defining Forms
Use this procedure to define forms. You can add, change, or delete form
definitions.
You must define forms to the printer before you can load them. You can define
forms in advance as a separate procedure. You can also define forms while you are
actually loading the forms.
The printer can store 1024 form name definitions in duplex and simplex modes,
and 1024 additional form name definitions for each printer in dual simplex mode
for a total of 3072 form name definitions for the complete system. Five form names
come standard with each system and appear on the Define Forms panel on the
Display Touch Screen.
Use the “Form Identification Worksheets” on page 263 before installation of the
printer to define the forms your installation is planning to use. Continue using the
forms during the life of the system to add additional forms definitions.
Form names that are defined and stored while the printer is in duplex mode are
listed and available for assignment/change/deletion only in duplex mode.
Likewise, a form name that is defined and stored in either Printer 1 dual simplex
or Printer 2 dual simplex mode are listed and available for
assignment/change/deletion only when the printer is in simplex mode.
To define new forms or delete existing forms, do the following:
1. Ensure that the printer is in Not Ready status.
2. SELECT the Configure pull-down menu on the main Display Touch Screen
window.
3. SELECT the Define Forms procedure. You see the Define Forms window,
which lists the forms that are currently defined and information about the form
name that is highlighted in the list.
Note: The Define Forms function is not available if the Assign Forms to Load
or Print Adjust screen is displayed. Only one of these three screens
appears at any time.
